Product Description
Product Description
Two years on from a debut album awash with punk spirit and scorching blues-rock, the London trio Noisettes return with Wild Young Hearts, a set of sleek pop songs steeped in soul, dizzy on disco and harking back to the days of blues and jazz greats. From the stomping electro-rock of "Saturday Night" and galloping funk grooves of first single "Don’t Upset The Rhythm", to the joyous, jazzy title track, the glorious ‘60s-tinged soul of "Never Forget You" and the sultry, shimmering pop of "24 Hours", in Wild Young Hearts, Noisettes have made what is set to be one of 2009’s most adventurous albums.

Let's start with the name.
I love it....love it to bits in fact.
It's nuts how no-one thought to use it before.
(I didn't research the above assumption and will
doubtless now receive an almighty slap on the tail
from a Harry or Sally far cleverer than me for
my ignorance).
Noisettes have given us a cracking little album here.
11 very fine songs performed with fierce confidence
and self-belief.
The guitar/bass/drums formula is augmented with
subtle use of keyboards and electronics in all
the right places. Never too much - never too little.
Ms Shoniwa's voice is vibrant and full of life and despite
it's occasional limitations is always fresh and captivating.
Opening track 'Sometimes' is a composition worthy of the
late great Jake Thakray (....ask your Grandad to explain).
The woozy off-kilter opening harmonies lead into a beguiling
and unpredictably shifting melody. Easily one of the best songs
I have heard so far this year.
The dancefloor thrash of single 'Don't Upset The Rhythm' is
a blast of five star pristine pop - consumately executed.
The sunny "la la las" and handclapping of title track
'Wild Young Hearts' are delightful. It slips easily in and
out of it's big show tune production to reveal the rock solid
pedigree of this fine little band's instrumental skills.
Likewise '24 Hours' - the bass/drums backbone pins down yet
another winning composition. The chorus is irristible.
Truth be told there's not a bad track to be had here.
'Beat Of My Heart' is a stormer, destined to be a show-stopper
in live shows.
'Never Forget You', with it's playful sixties references, is
for me the album's highlight. A pure unadulterated slice of joy!
(Mr Large's sprightly string arrangement deserves a special mention).
Final track 'Cheap Kicks' draws the project to a classy conclusion.
Noisettes seem to have burst into the listening world
fully formed and totally fabulous.
We'd all be nuts not to take note.
Highly Recommended.

Absolutely awesome album! The lead singer has an amazing voice, and their songs are fantastic. For some reason, I can't help but think they need to get this girl to do the lead song for the next James Bond soundtrack. She's got the voice to do it.
As I'm a sucker for 50's/60's/70's music, my two favourite songs have got to be 'Wild Young Hearts' and 'Never Forget You' which are simply outstanding coming from a band in the 21st century, and songs I reckon will be remembered in years to come.
A MUST BUY!!

I had heard a few of the Noisettes tracks on the radio and loved the vocals and music. It prompted me to think of buying the CD. When I checked on Amazon, I was very pleased to see they had samples of all the tracks to listen to. I was amazed by the clarity and soulfulness of her voice and the beat of the music - a wonderful combination.
During the year I only buy a few CD's so I try and choose carefully. Once Wild Young Hearts arrived I popped the CD in the car and then played through about 8 times (with some tracks repeated) before I changed the music.
You might not realise I am not some young wipper snapper, but 55 and have a 12 year old daughter (even she loves this CD). This album should become a classic as there are no bad tracks, just some of them are slightly better than others.
This is definitely a 5 star album and should appeal to all age groups. I rate this as a must have album - so buy a copy today.

A Really Nice Album
I took a chance on the Noisettes as I hadn't heard of them before, nor did I have a clue what `indie music was, although, I guess that really has little significance on the `sound'... Read more

Nice album
Love most of it, but the hits do tend to grate a bit after a while.
Think they are so much better when not aiming for commercial success.

A quite superb album.
From start to stop, this album is full of really superb music. Off-kilter enough to avoid being too mainstream, but poppy enough to stick on in the car and tap your foot along to. Read more
